EMEA's Top Entrepreneurs Gather in Monaco for the 2019 EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award

Monaco, 05 - 08 June 2019: The world’s most successful and innovative entrepreneurs have descended upon Monaco for the 2019 EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award.

From 5 - 8 June, 57 EY Entrepreneur of the Year™ program winners from 47 countries will convene in Monaco to compete for the title of World Entrepreneur of the Year. The program, now in its 19th year, celebrates the mold-breakers of the world: the boldest entrepreneurs who know you can't create new growth by following the old models.

Sessions under the theme "How do mold-breakers fuel the engine?" will give each of the country program winners the opportunity to share disruptive ideas, challenge conventional ways of thinking and explore how to prepare for the next wave of industries such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and other technologies. The events will incorporate fellow business leaders at a series of summits, keynote speeches, panel discussions and events of interest to entrepreneurs, government officials and business leaders in attendance.
